Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 2--After-School Science Club

From two of the hottest creators in the American manga scene, writer Josh Tierney (World Piece, Iris Complex) and artist JeyOdin (Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1: Get in the Robot, Morty!; Hammer) comes a story of teen love, school pride, and extracurricular international warfare in Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol 2: After School Science Club!

Morty falls in love at first sight with the new exchange student from Japan--Chigusa--and when she shows him her favorite manga about after-school clubs, he knows just the advisor for his hastily constructed new Science Club: Rick Sanchez. With his ragtag group of teen losers (plus Chigusa) and a cursory knowledge of Japanese school clubs he picked up from skimming Morty’s manga, Rick leads the club in a competition against the preexisting, sanctioned, totally normal Science Club, creating a portal to Akihabara, nexus of anime and manga culture, and famous home of Tokyo’s maid cafés. Brimming with inspiration from their trip (and chased out of the country by the maids who have turned on Rick) the Science Club prepares for their school festival with a maid café of their own making--a science maid café selling questionable concoctions . . .

Josh Tierneyis the Eisner-nominated writer of World Piece (VIZ Media), Iris Complex(Webtoon), Warm Blood, and Spera, and the upcoming Oni Press middle-grade graphic novel Haunted Comic Club, with illustrator Caitlin Soliman.

JeyOdin, an American manga artist from New Orleans, is the creator of the Saturday AM series, Hammer, and illustrator of Rick and Morty: The Manga Vol. 1. After attending the Savannah College of Art and Design and majoring in sequential art, JeyOdin was able to get his first comic, Chicken Fight, published with Antarctic Press. He’s also been published in USA Today and illustrated Lemonade Code for Oni Press. Having had a career in this space for more than a decade, he also created his 4-Step Guide to Creating Comics to help those looking to get started. JeyOdin currently resides in South Carolina with his lovely wife, adorable baby, and lovable dogs. You can find him on social media @JeyOdin.
